Red Cross finds Bush administration guilty of war crimes

In a secret report last year, the Red Cross found evidence of the CIA using torture on prisoners that would make the Bush administration guilty of war crimes, The New York Times reported Friday.

The Red Cross determined the culpability of the Bush administration after interviewing prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, according to the article.

Prisoner Abu Zubaydahwho said he had been waterboarded, "slammed against the walls" and confined in boxes "so small he said he had to double up his limbs in the fetal position."

The information comes from a new book written by Jane Meyer, who has frequently published articles concerning counter-terrorism in The New Yorker.

The book is titled "The Dark Side: The Inside Story of How the War on Terror Turned Into a War on American Ideals," and will be released next week.

1. The story behind the story, though, is why the hell was it secret?
I guess we all know the answer to that question, but the question still needs to be pursued nonetheless.

3. The only way to redeem ourselves, to hold our heads up again
Is to hold these characters accountable for what they have done. Hold them to the rule of law, and prosecute them. Get all the information out.

Justice.

The entire segment with Rachel Maddow was powerful, particularly Jonathan Turley's analysis at the end. Jaw-dropping.
